schools from other countries have such strict dress codes

Meanwhile I just walked to school in my pajamas and a bath robe

Sounds so chill. I had a strict school uniform. Even told us what colour socks to wear!

They still do in some UK schools. The rules are usually stricter for boys too. So much for equality.

@Sharon: Yes I suppose it's a good thing and I'm sure it helps with bullying if all are dressed the same

@Ross19: It doesn't help with bullying. Children whose parents can't afford the, usually overpriced, uniforms are bullied by the teachers by being put in isolation or excluded from the school.

How does it help by making the rules stricter for boys too? Discrimination just builds resentment and sets a very bad example.
